Ren'Py Life in Alphaville [v0.7.0] [GameleaksStudio]
A month is Not very long most games go 3 to 4 months without an update. Has the Dev's Patreon or Subscribestar disappeared?
File is deleted and I'm stuck at the spinning game. Downloaded version 5.1 from here
Gosh, try Where it all Began, 1 year and 1 month without updates, and it's not considered abandoned (even though it pratically is).
This game has only 1 month since last update, not dead for sure.

Guys, I'm fine and still working on the game! This end of the year with the Christmas parties and everything, it gets a little busier for me. But rest assured there will be a surprise very soon!
Thank god you answered, I was already scared you were going to leave the game.

Are you still experiencing this error? You can skip the game like this in the scene before spinning the bottle, where you can see a skip button in the top right corner of the screen.
I'm working on the next update for this button to always be available.
Wasn't the newest update supposed to come out on the 22nd? What happened?
Dead silence does not bode well. It's a month since his last post, hope he is okay.

The last real update was in september and the dev hasn't been around since December 19. I hope he's ok but i guess this game is dead.
This is the last one published by GameleaksStudio on his Patreon page.
Update notes
Greetings, dear friends, fans, and wonderful Patreons! I'm thrilled to share some exciting developments for our upcoming update and provide you with a sneak peek into what's in store.
First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you for your unwavering support – you are the lifeblood of this project, and your enthusiasm keeps us going strong! As you may have noticed, there have been some fantastic changes on Patreon lately. To celebrate, we're opening up our chat to the entire community at the end of this message. (Admittedly, I'm still exploring the sleek new design, but initial impressions are positive!)
Now, let's dive into the good stuff. I've been hard at work enhancing my skills and exploring new horizons for the game's artwork. I'm excited to share that I've joined the Adobe plan, unlocking a world of creative possibilities for our game's gallery. The results so far have been incredible, and I hope you enjoy the upgraded visuals!
Before we delve into the specifics of the update, let's talk about some improvements. The map system, post-tutorial, has received positive feedback, but I sensed an opportunity for more user-friendly navigation. In response, this next update will introduce two game-changing mechanics. First, a "jump to the girl" feature, allowing you to fast-forward time and connect with your chosen character directly, bypassing the need to navigate the map. Second, a revamped truth or dare experience with a sleek new skip button, accessible throughout the game's images, along with the exciting addition of cheat codes.
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for – the release date! Drumroll, please. Mark your calendars for 12/22/2023! I've decided to deliver this update just in time for Christmas, a small token of appreciation for your fantastic support.

How the heck is this game missing Dating Sim? This is all this game is.. wander around and find girls to build up affection.. no story no plot. I'm so bored of these time waster dating sims I now go for those with stories that carry the game. Boring. Please add dating sim tag I would of not downloaded it otherwise.
If you look at the devs account it says last active 23rd Feb, so they definitely are ignoring you. I'm hoping the radio silence is because they want to release a big update with a lot of content. Otherwise 5 months with no word on progress should get this game put on-hold or abandoned

I saw that he has been absent since 23rd Feb. I also hope that he is away for a better and bigger update. I would be sorry if he left the project because I gave him a lot of ideas. I would love to continue with this project, but unfortunately I have never made any kind of game, and I don't have time from work.

Dunno who kept commenting on the dev profile on f95, but seeing the last 2 comments is depressing as hell.
We have a full game thread here to discuss the game, enjoy it, hate it, talk about anything related to it.
The moment you drag the negative comments to a dev profile is the moment you critically stab any motivation that they had i guess.
They have a life, and not a full time dev...
Give them a break.

Hello, friends, fans and players of Life in Alphaville! I apologize for the disappearance, but all explanations were posted on my Patreon page.
I hereby inform you that the game is not dead, nor abandoned. I'm working on updates and improvements to keep turning it into something amazing. Some new changes have already been implemented, new characters and a reformulation of the main story, making it even more attractive and with mysteries and pleasures to be discovered.
I apologize for the time it took, but it was necessary. Wait for the next update in July!

Cool! I remember a scene near the end that was annoying for some reason, maybe it had a ton of unskippable animations or something, I hope that part is changed. Sorry if I'm misremembering lol.

I imagine it's the bottle game scene, right? I placed the finish button more centralized and present throughout the game. The next update will already feature this!
I'm glad to hear that this game isn't abandoned, always good to see a game come back. I have a couple questions for what to expect for the new release:
1. Will animations loop? Previously, animations were a video that ended after a couple seconds, which made them more difficult to appreciate. If they looped, this would no longer be an issue, and dialogue could be included during an active animation.
2. Will animations be skippable? Some of the animations, especially near the beginning, were unskippable and took a while to get through if for whatever reason you restarted the game. If they are loops, this isn't a concern.
3. Will the school that you're adding add more characters for all routes? Will there be more characters present in the NTR routes for characters?
4. How much new content do you think will be present in the update? How many new scenes, characters, etc.?
5. Any major bug fixes/reworks coming? The only main bug I know of is that if your redo the fight in the boxing ring, you just instantly win, so I have no clue what happens if/when you lose the fight.
Looking forward to the update, I think this has great potential and will likely become a Patreon after the game is updated.

I am immensely happy to answer your questions!
1- Yes, I'm choosing to make a loop similar to a gif, even though it indicates loss of frames. There would be more static images that alternate until the player leaves or skips the scene. This is not only to make the game a little more immersive, but also to reduce the download size, since videos represent more than 60% of their current size.
2- Yes, the animations will actually be images, so skipping or speeding up the dialogue will make them pass by. This was something that had been worrying me in the last few updates.
3- Many characters were added, today there are 18 girls with whom the MC can have a relationship and 13 men who can be friends or enemies of the MC. Everything will depend on your choices, each one will have a personality and specific routes. The school system will follow the main story, which will be a link to all other routes.
4- Basically there was a reformulation of the game's main story. A few scenes were discarded, many others were introduced in between, and a lot of new content is already ready. All 15 girls who already appeared in the statuses have effective participation in the game, in addition to 3 other new ones who arrived, Tiffany, Naomi and Tasha, which was a promise I made to my friend Armada1987 some time ago. There are also new male and secondary characters who will coexist with the plot and may be related to its story. So I would say there is a LOT of new content in this update.
5- The main corrections are:
→ Removing videos and implementing the loop to make the game lighter and more immersive.
→ New status menu, now you can access the sex scenes already done with the girls there, as well as track your points with her in Love, Perv and Nice. There is also a bonus of effects, where there will be photos of them in specific outfits, such as school, casual, lingerie, pajamas, naked, etc.
→ Animated sex bars to show your partner's pleasure (similar to the fight model) and a more attractive menu to change positions, people, and intensity of the scene.
→ Teleport system, to prevent the player from wandering downwards on the map and go straight to the objective they want. (In fact, I'm thinking about deactivating the map for now and leaving just this model until the entire story is completed, to save time.)
→ Reformulation of the main story, in order to bring a link to all routes and not deviate too much from my real objective, even though the MC was already involved in it.
All these mechanics mentioned in item 5 are already ready and working perfectly. Which reassures me to inform you that now I just need to really focus on creating the scenes, since they are already designed and written. For this reason, the update should come in July until I finish some pending acts, to leave each of the 18 girls with at least one sex scene created and their entire story completed up to that point.
